Abstract

Twenty-six sycamore plantations surveyed in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee in 1973 had leaf scorch symptoms; cankers caused mor tality in six lower Mississippi Delta s tands. Symptoms of the disease are leaf scorch, top diebac k, and trunk canker. No trees under 4 years old had dieback, and none unde r 6 years old had lethal trunk canker.
